AÑ VINO ESPUMOSO – SPARKLING VERDEJO NV

The AÑ Sparkling Verdejo is a unique wine previously not available in the United States. It is made with no residual sugar (brut nature) and is made using the traditional ‘champenoise’ method. It is fermented in the bottle, and is disgorged using artisanal methods after 9 months on the lees. Only 10,000 bottles of this wine were produced last year.

Pale yellow in color with light greenish nuances. Abundant and small-sized bubbles echo persistently on the finish and form a pure crown. On the nose, complex and fruity with aromas of butter, ripe apple, yeast, salinity and minerality. On the palate, tart citrus, orange and pineapple notes evident with a ripe fruit midpalate. Apricot noticeable as the wine opens up. Medium body and finish, easy to drink and fresh.

We recommend pairing this wine with white fish and grilled vegetables. Temperature: 42º - 48º F.
